    It became problematic when misogynists began using the term female as a way to dehumanize women. These men feel the need to blame all of their problems on women while simultaneously believing that a woman will also solve all their problems. It’s an easy outlet to channel their rage while accepting zero responsibility for their own actions.

      News flash, every word is going to be used for that. You have use context and intent in every interaction, don’t try to change other people just to make your life easier from a couple bad eggs. Yeesh.

        don’t try to change other people just to make your life easier.

        Isn’t that what you’re trying to do right now?

          Pointing something out isn’t trying to change other people, but okay.

          But it’s good to know there is a new red flag to look out for in interactions with women. Is that word okay? Misogynists use that too, which term is acceptable in this exchange? Nah I’m leaving this lol.

          This is gonna have the Streisand effect, trying to pick the term you want is only going to fuel the wrong ones. It’s why it hasn’t taken off and why very few people know or even care. It’s hilarious that it’s a thing.

              An op-ed on an extremely biased site means nothing to the general public. And is a far cry from being an “article” that should be taken seriously.

              People use those sources in closed groups to validate each others biased opinions.

              It’s a few people making a mountain out of a peanut.

              I stand by my yeesh.

              When I googled it, I found nothing but similar op-Ed’s. This isn’t a thing.

                It’s mainly a problem when it’s the only pronoun they use for women. There are plenty of incel type dudes who only use females when referring to women. There is appropriate context when utilizing female, but it’s typically used to delineate the sex of an animal, whether human or otherwise.

                The reason they only utilize females is because it objectifies a person down to their sexual reproduction capabilities. Which within incel ideology makes women second class citizens.

            It’s funny to me because I didn’t make the initial comment. I did reply, to offer an opinion, as did another… however you chose only reply to the one person with “girl” in their name.

            Editing to add that I see you did make another comment below, so I’ll leave my original comment even though I am now mistaken in my reply!

              What’s even funnier is, I replied to the parent comment and you responded to that one… and are now accusing me of only responded to a girl name, when that’s not even remotely the case.

              Fuckin red flags every holy shit lmfao. Keep telling people to not use “females” so we can avoid interaction with people like you.

                Well you convinced me. There are absolutely incels that when told some women don’t like this, they actively choose to defend it at all costs. Fascinating! Keep up the good fight. Show those women who’s boss!! Defend your masculinity or the English language or whatever it is you’re trying to do

                  Ah yes. I’m an incel for pointing out that a person accusing me of responding to them actually responded to me first….

                  Fucking lmfao. Not everyone is an incel because they have a different opinion, and that’s not even what the word is used for.

                  The amount of feminists parading around their red flags is awesome. But yes, the males are the ones to blame here fucking lmfao…

                    It’s amazing how purposefully obtuse you are. I bet you actually believe the first sentence is an accurate reflection of what’s going on. Who the fuck would care about that? Wtf. Lol

                    Your last sentence shows your cards. I didn’t say any of that shit, dude. You literally have no understanding of my position.

                    You completely failed to understand what others said to you and reacted with hostility so I made fun of you. Then you reacted like a person that feels the need to defend himself against some perceived threat. Get a grip, bro
